outer shell nigh unbreakable
utopian inside dystopian hope
identity disappears in greenish smoke
look for the spiral I left behind
like falling snow I flee your mind..

Favorite Quote:
"A man is a fool not to put everything he has, at any given moment, into what he is creating. You're there now doing the thing on paper. You're not killing the goose, you're just producing an egg. So I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working. I have never had the problem of a writing block. I've heard about it. I've felt reluctant to write on some days, for whole weeks, or sometimes even longer. I'd much rather go fishing, for example, or go sharpen pencils, or go swimming, or what not. But, later, coming back and reading what I have produced, I am unable to detect the difference between what came easily and when I had to sit down and say, "Well, now it's writing time and now I'll write." There's no difference on paper between the two." – Frank Herbert

Raw-Style in the Yukon was tough, In the winter I could just about always find OG oranges, apples, greens, lemons, kiwis, tomatoes and cucumbers. But in the summer of course there is also cherries, grapefruit, grapes, strawberries and such. But the cold! So harsh!
I'm in Vancouver now. I'm heading up to Nelson for Shambhala before I come back and find a dwelling and a job.
Hi...thanks......no pretention here.......just trying to be 'healthy' and have more energy--life force! Raw in SF is good.......lots of like minded people, meet-ups etc. How about in your parts? And I agree with you--KEEP IT SIMPLE........ :)

That quote, along with maynard's "question everything", have been my two fab quotes for many years!
Calgary stinks for raw support, minus a small group. O woulda thought bc would be better. Where bouts r u?
Buying fruits by the box would be hard, as I would have to carry it back on the bus!!
I do school in Van, UBC!
I like how it's so much more green here than it is anywhere else i've lived!
how about you? what are you doing around vancouver?
I've been doing raw foods a long time, originally it was pretty low fat anyway just naturally as I did lots of sprouts salads greens fruits few nuts and seeds, it was simpler before superfoods came along and all the supplements. I then got influenced by all the supplement stuff and did everything, after all I wanted to avoid deficiency didn't I, the superfoods flax oil supplements msm cacao maca etc and staryed away from fruit ( how stupid is that!?) due to all the anti fruit stuff and believing it all and did not feel so good although stress was partly related, I think. Sometimes it is difficult to put a finger on exactly. Recently, I've been adding loads more fruit and low fat and all my fatigue problems have now gone and I feel so much happier,and clearer headed too.
Maybe supplements have their place for some people at certain times but my experience has now confirmed to me just how simple it really is. I've been interested in those that follow a high fruit diet and they seem happier calmer and it does seem the longer term rawies do have to end up going low fat. Maybe there are certain individual differences, I don't really know
I added you as you were a fruit person. I like fruit people. Fruit is beautiful. I used to read all these spiritual books about abundance and stuff and they used to make me irritated as they are all about wealth as if that is abundance and I suddenly came to realise what it meant when I picked my own wild fruit, apples and blackberries and the amazing feeling of gratitude and delight I felt when picking fruit. I'd never experienced that before and then I knew what gratitude really meant.
Anyway a bit long winded, I'm sorry you feel like a raw leper I do a bit too sometimes as the way I see things is bit different to the average raw foodist.
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
Hi Jeff,
Every organism is completely self-healing. When sick or badly injured enough, every species will lie down and rest completely. Fasting itself has no curative power, but when we stop processing food (the single most energy expensive proce...
OMG
steamed? I needed a nutcracker to open them and it was really hard to get them opened. You think? My pristine lips touched something that was steamed>??
My grandmother turned me on to this one.
What about that little rock poppy segment in the middle that doesnt quite fit in with the rest of it?
Its beautiful though, 80's ruled the world of great sappy songs.
Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)
